solar decathlon: fab lab house – amazing designs for the future

following the success of the U.S. solar decathlon http://www.solardecathlon.gov/ , the government of spain’s ministry of
housing and the department of energy of the USA have teamed up to host europe’s first
solar decathlon in madrid. with the objective of achieving the cheapest solar home
in the world, the institute for advanced architecture of catalonia (IAAC) has designed and
fabricated the ‘fab lab house’ as their official entry into the competition. the 75 m2 house
is suitable for a family of 4 and the use of light wood as its main structural component makes
it possible to assemble the house in fifteen days.
